Arriving this week and available to market we have our 1993 TVR Chimaera and 1976 Land Rover Series III/Series 3.

We’ll begin with our 1993 TVR Chimaera 430. Finished in Cherry Red Pearl, the current owner is very familiar with the TVR brand and the car is often seen amongst the TVR fraternity at many local shows.

Approximately 200 of this model was made, with a 280 bhp 4.3l V8, the car is fitted with a LT77 gearbox and has covered just 69000 miles. This makes for a very rare car!

Full TVR Service History comprising with just 4 TVR specialists working on her: Kerridges TVR, Castle TVR, Offord TVR and Mat Smith TVR

As well as going through our workshops prior to any new owner taking the keys, the car comes with a very long MOT, recent service by Mat Smith TVR, new outriggers by Mat Smith TVR, 4 x brand new Rainsport 3 tyres with wheel alignment, new plugs, leads, alternator, fuel pipes and hard lines, engine bay soft lines and a reltitively new radiator.

This has been a second car for over 9 years and has always garaged.

We will be able to assess the car in greater detail once in with us but the current owner describes the alloys, bodywork and hood all in excellent condition. Still with its original paint with very few marks (she’s 26 years old!). The half leather seats, mushroom interior, face off CD player, all in very good condition too.

Fitted with central locking, alarm, electric mirrors, translucent rear number plate. The car comes with 2 keys, the original owners handbook (fully stamped with service history) and receipts for last 12 years. The Accumate trickle charger (with lead from battery to cabin), Steve Heath bible and indoor car cover included.

Runs faultlessly, very revy, very loud, amazing to drive, precise, solid gear change, lovely gentle burble on overrun. Real goosebump stuff!

Car is standard & unmodified making it a great blank canvas to make it ‘Yours’!

Independently road tested by Classic Car Weekly (Wednesday 10 July edition) – see pic for a write up by a freelance road tester, who saw the car in the timeline at Burghley, representing the rarer TVR Chimaera incarnation!

New photographs will be available very soon.

Next up, we have a very special 1976 diesel Land Rover in excellent condition. The current owner is selling due to unfortunate and very sad circumstance but has been their pride and joy for many years.

It is MOT and Tax exempt but we would be happy to carry out an MOT for peace of mind for the new owner. It was last MOT’d on 05/06/2018 even though it is MOT exempt.

The present mileage is 48,000 and has only done 200 miles since that said MOT.

The vehicle is garaged in dry conditions and is described as beautiful.

We are hoping for both vehicles to be with us this week and viewings there after are very welcome.
